Corrections Corporation, founded in Nashville Tennessee, owns, operates and manages private correctional and detention facilities in the United States. The company also provides inmate residential and prisoner transportation services for governmental agencies. 

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding Corrections Corporation’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Corrections Corporation’s facilities lacked adequate safety and security standards and were less efficient at offering correctional services than the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ (“BOP”) facilities; (2) Corrections Corporation’s rehabilitative services for inmates were less effective than those provided by BOP; (3) consequently, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was unlikely to renew and/or extend its contracts with Corrections Corporation; and (4) therefore, Corrections Corporation’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. 

On August 18, 2016, the Justice Department publicized its plan to terminate its use of private prisons after officials established that private prisons are less safe and less successful in delivering correctional services compared to prisons government run. Corrections Corporation of America is one of three contracted prisons. Following this news Corrections Corporation stock dropped $9.65 per share or over 35% to close at $17.57 on August 18, 2016.
